Thank you to NOHOLD, Inc. for featuring me on your podcast! ---------------------This week on *Game Changers: The Future of Play*, we had the privilege of sitting down with Caroline Strzalka, Co-Founder of Overplay. Many people know Caroline from her successful appearance on Shark Tank (along with Co-Founder Dan Projansky), where Overplay earned an investment from Mark Cuban. Today, Overplay is also helping FIFA transform real match highlights into interactive games that fans around the world can instantly play.Her achievements are remarkable. But what connected with us on visceral, human level was this: Before Overplay, Caroline spent years at Sesame Street with a focus on digital experiences designed to educate, inspire, and empower children. That mission continues today in a different form. Her vision is simple, and incredibly powerful: Imagine recording your child's soccer game and minutes later, they're playing a game they created from that very video. Not because they learned to code. Not because they're professional game developers. Because technology finally makes creativity accessible to everyone.That idea captures something much bigger than gaming.It's about giving people, especially kids, the confidence and inspiration to create. Throughout our conversation, we explored:- How Overplay went from an ambitious idea to being scouted by Shark Tank ABC- How FIFA is transforming highlights into interactive fan experiences (link to the FIFA Play Zone will be shared in the comments!) - Why Applied AI and human creativity belong together- Why grit, optimism, and curiosity still matter more than any technologyCaroline captured the spirit of our conversation in one quote:"If a kid feels empowered that they can do something, they can really do huge things in life." That's the kind of future we're excited to help build.We are so excited to share this with you!
